Hero without Blood or Tear

On my way to Dresden, I contacted Vitenweir in a long time.

- Papenheim.

- Joo-gun!

It was a welcome sight.

- How'd it go with the map?

- It's perfect, but if there's a fluctuation, it's adding up.

- Excellent. That map will be used for important work in the future. Your balls are huge.

- I appreciate you telling me that. Lord.

- By the way, do me a favor.

I intend to bring in Sergeant Shaltz's party, who is staying in Wittenbuyer. It's been four months since the Battle of Harfheim. The wounds that were wounded should be healed by now. They're reliable. We'll take them with us.

- Sergeant Shaltz and Telman, Max and Van Hort. Speak to the four like this. I need you to come to Landschoot, Niederbayer, because we have work to do.

The four were especially loyal and faithful among the mercenaries who were with them. It will be a big help in the future.

- Yes, Lord. Is there anything else you'd like to address?

- I'm going to cross the Rhine later to play Pezamut. In the upstream areas, there are places where bridges are clearly not placed. Look for it.

- I'm sure there's a good swamp.

After finishing the call with Papenheim, I moved to Dresden. As soon as I got to the city, I went to the Velia Merchant Guild.

“Tell the merchant that Balor has arrived. ”

The gatekeeper was different from what he had seen before, but he didn't even have to provoke the majesty of a great lord. I've changed a lot in the meantime, and now the average person looks down at me with just his eyes.

“I understand!”

One of the gatekeepers jumped up and down, and immediately he was led to the Merchant Guild. And I met the merchant with a face full of anticipation.

“Welcome, nobles! ”

The merchant owner couldn't hide his excited face. I had the guts to find the elixir when I came back.

“Did you get it?”

“Yes.”

“Ah!”

A greatly admired merchant bends his waist.

“I heard the news. I can't believe you defeated the Demon King Odgash with the Dragon. Honestly, I couldn't help but be surprised when I first heard it. I was rude to him that day without knowing how great I was. Please forgive us our trespasses. ”

The Merchant Guild Master was extremely poised. All I could see was a long look on the ground. It's not that I don't understand.

It was so scary to be called the Demon King in the eyes of the public. I also looked similar in fighting those things.

“Here, look at this. ”

I took the elixir out of Grosse Glockner when I could.

“A flower called Luberongen. If you grind your roots well, your son's muscle disease will heal as if he had washed away. ”

“Oh my! Thank you so much! ”

The merchant owner was pleased with the tears. You must have suffered a lot because of your child. Now that we have a cure, we have to cover it. But I didn't give the elixir to him who reached out.

“Pay the price first. ”

“Ah! I beg your pardon! Speak up. It's worth a fortune. ”

In his attitude, I nodded and suggested what I wanted.

“What I want is simple. Hand over the bonds you hold for the Lighter Knights. ”

The merchant was surprised to see an unexpected request.

“Merchant. Is the transfer of bonds prohibited by a rider? ”

“That's not it. You can accept it from them after the notification is given. Will the Assignee be Lord Valerie? ”

At that, I shook my head. I would have been sharpening my teeth over there, but I couldn't accept the transfer of bonds.

“The Assistant is Sergeant Rebel Shaltz. Who is he? He retired wounded after joining the Battle of Harfheim. You can say he received the bonds at a fair price as an investment. ”

“I understand.”

The merchant owner who went to contact me returned to his depressed face a long time later.

“Absolutely not. ”

There was a reason.

“Is it because of Sachsen's pre-election? ”

“What should I do? That's right."

“I knew it.”

If the Velia Merchant Guild steals their hands from them, their pre-emptive interventions will disappear. Ironically, the Lithur family was at a standstill, and the big man who cared for the debtor and the debtor was the only hope.

“Just go out strong. Merchant Guild Master. I think Sachsen is going to go out and take over the Lighter Knights. ”

I'll give you a stick and a carrot.

“Tell Sergeant Shaltz that if he approves the transfer, he will extend his reimbursement date by two years. You'll have to water it eventually. If you want to save your son, go threaten him. Tsk! People are so weak! The Merchant Guild is right!”

When I kicked his tongue, he bent even more.

“I'm sorry. I'll go and blackmail them properly. ”

“Very well. Fight. ”

The Merchant Guild owner ran away this time. And a long time later, I came back with a bright face.

“That's it! I did it. ”

I am generous to those who have done their part. I encouraged him with a bright face.

“Hahaha! Look at that. How good is it to make a threat taste good? Here, take this and save your son. ”

“I've put up a pretty good scare. Hahahaha!”

We concluded the deal with a smile. I acquired the bonds in exchange for the elixir.

Now, this is perfect. Sachsen's preliminary election was completely off the hook. And I accept the debt of the Lithurs.

Maybe the Writers won't be able to pay for this. I didn't buy it for money either.

I'm just trying to get it to land.

After taking care of business in Dresden, I headed straight for Lanzhou, where Valpurgis is in the South Sea. My heart fluttered when I thought of seeing her again.

I go to the Earl's Palace, and somehow the bureaucrats who were strolling the garden find me and run. Everyone was in a hurry.

“Seize it!”

“Get him! ”

No, what are you talking about? The officials of Valpurgis surround me from all sides, standing still because of this nonsense. Everyone looks so determined to pull out a knife.

“What are you doing? ”

I didn't feel alive. So, I ask a silly question, and the old man I saw earlier says,

“You can't escape this time! Lord Balor!”

“What's that? ”

“I understand you were overwhelmed last time. But please reconsider. There is no woman like you! ”

“Yes, but a man must not abandon his woman! ”

“Yes! Take responsibility. That's a gentleman's attitude! ”

I opened my mouth because I was embarrassed. But soon I could see why they did it.

“I hear things are going well! Besides, you've been here once before, and you don't get many visits! You know how sad this old man is to be by your side! ”

“Yes! How could you be so careless after stealing an innocent girl's heart?" ”

“I've seen you make clothes for Sir to wear before, but did you contact him properly? This is why we call him Niederbayer's son-in-law! ”

Apparently, everyone was angry because they were neglectful of Valpurgis. I'm embarrassed and embarrassed, so I can't open my mouth well. They seemed to think it was a fact that I married Valpurgis. I had no choice but to answer.

“... I'll be bothered. ”

Then the old man nodded, satisfied, and solemnly told me.

“The one who defeats the Demon King is not a knight, but a knight who protects the virginity of the girl! Remember!”

What is it? I think I just heard something really cool.

“... I see. ”

As I surrendered, the bureaucrats shouted, joyfully running.

“Come on, let's put it on in front of the city and erect a statue of the late Earl! ”

“Yes! We must treat Niederbayer's son-in-law that much too!" ”

“Let's go! I know a dwarf! ”

“Well, I'll see you soon! Niederbayer's son-in-law!”

Rrrrrrrr.

The bureaucrats appear like the wind and leave like the wind. I was distracted by an unexpected assault and decided to enter through the back door of the palace.

* * *

“Balor!”

Following the maid's guidance, you see Valpurgis. He was still wearing armor.

“You really came! ”

After looking at me, Valpurgis starts running. And I hugged him with all my strength.

“Sir loves to hug. ”

“Because you are. Did you see Maine hugging someone else? ”

I can see that. I was glad that I thought so, so I hugged him.

“We're late. I'm sorry."

“No, you did something big. I'm proud of you."

I wanted to talk to you all night, but we had a lot to deal with. First, I asked Valpurgis how the recruiter is doing.

“I don't need to recruit a lot, so I'd like to invest a month or two. ”

“That's a bit of a problem. ”

“Ah? Don't worry about the expenses. I'll take care of it. ”

Valpurgis shakes his head that this is not the case. What, we got a problem recruiting mercenaries?

“It's getting in the way. ”

“Interference?”

Who would stand in the way of the Earl of Niederbayer? I didn't understand the meaning of it, but after hearing the following explanation, I wanted to miss it.

“The Lighter Knights are interfering with the recruits. ”

They were a combat family, so to speak, mercenaries.

It is quite a distance from knights who worship knights in literature. It is a group of fighters who recruit troops and enter the battlefields of the empire.

Of course, we must have deep relations with the mercenaries of this area. We're using it to try and stop him from responding to Earl Niederbayer's call.

“I'm sorry, Balor. This might take a while. It is a problem to contact mercenaries in other areas beyond the influence of the lighter. ”

There are many mercenaries and many mercenaries. Recruitment itself is not a problem, but it will take a little longer. But I didn't like it when I wanted to wipe them out.

“Let's borrow the militia. ”

In this age, there were no regular soldiers, so when the war broke out, we recruited professional mercenaries and fought. Mercenaries such as Landsknecht are a typical example of this.

Only a few wealthy lords had militias composed of citizens. Bavaria's aunt, Bavaria, was one of those lords.

“To your uncle? ”

However, they are far less skilled than mercenaries in combat. Even if there are twice as many mercenaries, I can't guarantee victory.

“Yes, I'll cover the cost of employment for the militia. It should be about 500." ”

“Isn't that enough? I heard there are over 300 mercenaries available right now at the Lighter. If so, there should be around 1,000 militia. ”

Valpurgis, of course, did not resent the combat strength of the militia. She said she'd rather wait until she hires the right mercenaries.

“She knows the elite regiment made up of Walloons. I've worked for my uncle for a long time. I am to the northwest of the Empire to make money now, but I will not ignore the Bavarian crisis. They are 70 years old and have great combat power. If the Walloons come, the knights are nothing. ”

Valpurgis was confident of victory. But the problem is, it takes half a year for that loyal Waloonian regiment to arrive... I can never wait that long.

“Don't worry. The militia will suffice. There will be no more massive battles anyway. ”

As I speak confidently, Valpurgis retreats behind the blemish.

“What's the matter? Sir."

“Now that the Maiden has been with you for a while, I'll find out right away! ”

“About what? ”

“I thought you were up to something nasty again. Your face just looked so sinister! ”

Oh, my little cutie, you've gotten better without me seeing you.

But there is no excuse. Honestly, I'm not evil. My plan is evil.

By the way, there was one condition that was absolutely necessary for this plan. You have to be a real knight to have a knighthood.

“You could have appointed me a knight instead. ”
